It’s been an eventful weekend for Lynn Bowden, who has officially touched down in Miami, Florida. News broke Saturday afternoon the former Wildcat has been traded from the Las Vegas Raiders to the Miami Dolphins.
Bowden, a third-round pick in the NFL Draft, was traded along with a 2021 sixth-round pick in exchange for a 2021 fourth-round pick. The Raiders already paid Bowden his $985,000 signing bonus, meaning they’ll lose that cap space, as well. It’s a perplexing trade to say the least.
